Paytm is now offering movie tickets on their website

Paytm is now venturing into movie ticketing business- which is predominately held by BookMyShow.com.

Paytm plans to strengthen the offline business and will allow its users to pay for food and other value-added services through their mobile wallet once they reach the movie hall. It will offer cashback deals on ticketing to attract customers to book through its platform.

Paytm Steps Into Movie Ticketing Business; Ties Up With PVR And Inox – NextBigWhat

Cool.

Seems interesting. Good to have competition in the movie ticketing territory. Hopefully we have some decent deals now! 😀

 

[Sushubh]

Paytm is just the payment gateway so not sure how it increases competition.

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

I remember reading a few months ago that Paytm's long term target is a platform which directly competes with the likes of BMS.
Maybe this is how they are setting things up.

I would love it if Paytm launches a competing platform to BMS. BMS needs to be kicked in the nuts for the fees they charge for booking tickets.

The last line in the quote above does states its intention of competing directly with BMS.

It will offer cashback deals on ticketing to attract customers to book through its platform.

OMG. It's already launched.

I completely misread the original post. I thought PVR and INOX were going to add them as a payment gateway 😀

 

[Navjot Singh]

Well not much change here.

:sweating:

BMS always has 25% off( max 75rs) on weekdays on mobikwik app. Thats the only reason I have mobikwik app in my phone 😛

@Jagat Errm how is it any different from BMS?

 

[Jagat]

BMS charges more for the same show and same seats 🙂
